The latest Chronicle profile is of Illinois transfer Jacob Grandison. A 6-6 wing, Grandison is going to be a factor for Duke.
We like a lot about him but most of all this: he came up the hard way. He had virtually no interest out of high school but got an offer from Holy Cross and then moved to Illinois.
He’s well known as an outside shooter - he hit 41 percent last season - but his maturity as much as anything will be a huge asset for Duke this year.
Like a lot of the players Jon Scheyer has assembled, shooting and versatility are calling cards for Grandison.
